About Institute for Mathematics and Democracy

The Institute for Mathematics and Democracy was founded in 2019. Its purpose is to promote a deeper understanding of mathematics as a pivotal force in creating a democracy where people make informed political decisions and enact change based on objective and rigorous quantitative criteria. Academics, scholars, students, and activists affiliated with the Institute for Mathematics and Democracy are gathered around the notion that mathematics is integral to democracy. They believe that meaningful political change requires not only basic quantitative literacy but also an understanding of the mathematics behind socio-economic and political practices.
